However, scant empirical research is available on how the CG attributes improve the intellectual capital (IC) efficiency. To fill this gap, the present study explores the effect of CG on IC efficiency. This study also intends to explore the moderating role of profitability on the nexus of CG and IC to identify whether it affects physical and intellectual capabilities. Using the census sampling technique, this study utilized the panel data of services firms in Pakistan over the period 2016�2020. The study adopted Pulic�s model for computing IC efficiency, i.e., the value-added intellectual capital coefficient model. Fixed-effect model and two-stage least squares were utilized for the regression analysis. The study�s findings revealed that independent directors, the board size, audit committee, and remuneration committee have a significant negative relationship with IC efficiency. CEO duality has demonstrated a significant positive nexus with IC efficiency. Interestingly, the negative coefficient of audit and remuneration committees becomes positive with the moderation of profitability. This study adds to the literature on the vital role of CG in fostering IC efficiency. The findings of this study might be helpful for the policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to put in place a solid corporate governance structure that enhances physical and intellectual capabilities. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. date: 2023 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85133433922&doi=10.1007%2fs11135-022-01472-z&partnerID=40&md5=c05b6a3076365ac12aa45a4860f65dfc id_number: 10.1007/s11135-022-01472-z full_text_status: none publication: Quality and Quantity volume: 57 number: 3 pagerange: 2447-2468 refereed: TRUE issn: 00335177 citation: Shahzad, K. and Shah, S.Q.A. and Lai, F.-W. and Jan, A.A. and Shah, S.A.A. and Shad, M.K.
